The Coming of the Third Reich and Its Echoes in American Politics

Host Mitch Jeserich speaks with Richard J. Evans about his book The Coming of the Third Reich, which describes the ascent of Nazism in 1930s Germany and Hitler’s rise to power. This book is critical to understanding the intricacies of fascism and explores how a liberal republican government allowed for the moral collapse that provoked World War II.

Richard J. Evans is a professor of history at University of Cambridge, as well as president of Wolfson College, Cambridge, and Fellow of the British Academy for Humanities and Social Sciences. He specializes in the social and cultural history of modern Germany and Europe.
